I put my 1998 S40 T4 in for a full set of new tyres at the weekend and told the guy to track the car as it had a pull to the left.

He said the camber was out but it is not adjustable on the car. He was saying about elongating a hole but I didn't have a clue what he was saying!

The car is lowered.

What would I need to change on the car to put the camber right?

I don't want to ruin my new tyres or have any known issues with my baby!!

Cheers.

Probably your best bet will be PFV as they ship from the UK & will not take too long to get to you!

HTH!

Wow, didn't know they existed, brilliant! Do you know if they are difficult to get up and running?

Straight replacement for the upper bolt, but setting them up could be a pest if you don't know what your doing!

I believe you measure the gap between the tyre & the inside of the arch... this should be the same on both sides (I'm pretty sure this is how it should work but I'm not an expert, so don't hold me to this!).

Maybeys buy a set & then go back to the muppet who said about drilling bigger holes!

No suggestions on what to do with the bolts....

Curse thoes who defile our beloved Volvos!
